At 'Uncle-Atabaque´s' in Rio de Janeiro you can find the original, traditionally barrel-constructed atabaques. You can choose between two different tuning systems, the regular version with tension hooks or, especially popular amongst capoeiristas, the traditional version with ropes. TIÃO DO ATABAQUE instruments are neatly tanned and equipped with fine sounding skins.

The Atabaques come in standard sizes of Lê, Rumpi and Rum.
